In case you hadn't heard, the rom-com is back. It started earlier this summer with Netflix's release of Set It Up, and just got even better with the addition of To All The Boys I've Loved Before, based on the Jenny Han novel of the same name. But which one should you cancel plans and watch tonight?
This is a hard question, since they're both an incredible breath of fresh air in the world of rom-coms and Netflix movies. But since I didn't have plans to cancel in the first place, I watched them both, and created a handy quiz that will help you figure out if you're more Zoey Deutch or Lana Condor. Please feel free to print this out and distribute to your friends accordingly:

Please document your answers on a sheet of paper, and then rip them right up, because there's no reason you shouldn't watch both these movies in a row right now. Set It Up follows the reluctant love story of two hard-working assistants and To All The Boys I Loved Before follows the reluctant love story of two high schoolers. They are also both filled with the tropes that make romantic comedies great: conniving plans, secret relationships, and a dramatic scene where someone confesses their love. Who doesn't have time for that?
